first off, glad to see so many people out there confessing to stinky bathrooms. thanks for the advise, the laughs, and the support. i'll be sure to keep writing more personal, sometimes not so shining moments, as they continue to happen. one thing is for sure, if you can't laugh about things...then life really does suck sometimes.and who wants that?

now onto some quilty stuff.yup me,made one.well, actually two.

it seems like everywhere i turn someone is announcing they are pregnant, they are finding out what they are having, or they are just about to pop.my husband i'm happy to say that i'm over that whole hub bub of being pregnant, just envision Medusa on a bad day...lets just say i'm not pleasant the first trimester.but that won't stop me from being super giddy for everyone else.

you go people and your baby making skills.here's a tutorial for the baby that is about to make an appearance in your life or in your friend's life!go check it out at the moda bake shop

Oh you and your brilliance! Now I wan to make a quilt! I thought that would be the one thing that wouldnt make it onto my ever growing to-do list. But you had to come up with the coolest baby quilt I have ever seen. Your too good for my own good ;P

Hi V,I always check in, but I made a resolution to comment more on my favorite blogs...not just do a drive by. Love this quilt! I am way passed the baby stage, but always make one for someone at hubby's work. Will definitely make this one!Take care,~Karen~

i guess I will be adding to the baby pool because I LOVE BEING PREGNANT... I'm actually a better person....most of the time....i just wish I could trade vagina's with someone else when it comes to delivering :)I'm not so good at pain...too much info? yeah thought so.

I love the make life line and have quite a bit of it!I can't wait to make this quilt for the little one I'm baking!

I'm fairly new to your site but I'm in love. I want to make that skirt in your header!

Do you have a basic "how to start quilting" tutorial anywhere? I mean REAL basic? My cousin is pregnant and I'd love to make her a quilt. I usually knit but with my 2 boys, I just don't have time right now. I know sewing takes a lot of time too but I can do it in pieces.

I have always enjoyed being pregnant. Never got morning sickness or anything. Unfortunately, my body wasn't a good baby making machine. Always experienced eyclampsia. So, baby factory is closed. I too enjoy spoiling soon to be mamas and this quilt tutorial you shared is too adoreable.

Ok I just read the rest of the post and I must say having gone through my last pregnancy at 30 years old I was "Medusa on a bad day" pretty much the entire time! My poor son and hubby left the house countless times to get away only to fear that upon returning the wrath of said Medusa, for having left me alone, would be far greater than the reason for running!

OH MY WORD FABULOUS! Seriously. I am in love. I am over to Moda right now. Do you think I can pull off this quilt for a friend that I am throwing a shower for on Saturday along with the Quilt of Faith I am doing for Bronson? I do not know. But, you really are making me want to try. That is simply darling. Good thing I am going to Joann's today. I am just in love. Really. You are the best.

haha we'll to add to the prego people. I just found out that I'm prego took a test saturday and its positive, but the catch is went to the doctor because my son is sick took a urine test there and yeah they came out negative came home took another test it was positive! thats my life haha abnormal

I showed my husband these quilts and he busted up laughing. He works for Marriott and apparantly the Eat, play, sleep, repeat is their marketing mantra. I may have to use different words so he doesn't think about work every time he sees the blanket!

The quilts are absolutely fabulous! Makes me wish I was having a baby.

I could completely relate to your fiber story. About once every 3 mo my 4 year old will hold her poop and my MIL constantly calls and emails asking if she has pooped. My daughter screams if we even mention the word suppository much less try to give her one. It makes for an interesting life. :)

Thanks for the lovely quilts tutorial and it's easy enough for a beginner. Sorry to off subject but, that is one of the most adorable babies I have ever seen. Brings back all of those hug and snuggle memories. Sadly my 7 yr old doesn't like to snuggle much these days.

Me again. I just read your blog before the "today" one about Katie and her movements. Left a message for you. Loved that blog. So, I checked out some old blog of your...and ok now I know you are just the most perfect family!!! I saw your precious golden retriever dog. They are the best. The very best dog. My daughter has had many golden retrievers and they are such a funny dog.

Hi V- I just want to say that you are my favorite!! I've been a blog stalker for a while...I even bought some pillows from your etsy shop once...so I figured I should probably finally say hi and tell you that I think you are great! LOVE these quilts...the stuff you create is always so fresh! I can totally relate to the metamucil story with my daughter...it's amazing how much you can stress about poop! You had me in tears i was laughing so hard!! So thanks for all the great ideas...and the laughs!!

Super cute, Vaness! I know you say that you read all of your comments, but seriously? Do you really? I just noticed that you had 120 comments on your fiber post - 120! Holy cow! Did you really read all of them?? :)

I love love love this quilt. Any chance the top one with red will end up in your etsy shop. I too am done making babies, but I have a 5 month old. We live in a house with all stone and wood floors. Good for clean up bad for the little man who is trying to learn to sit, crawl and play. Let me know if you put it up for sale I WILL be first in line. Thanks Paige

Any chance you'll be putting one of the cuties up on your Etsy site?! I'd love to have one for my tot-in-tow! As much as I'd love to make one for myself, that's just not a reality right now with a 2-year old and a full time job. SO CUTE!
